Looking for true motivation

Fatexterminator1

Hi I am looking to make a change to friends list. Looking for those who are truly active in motivation and encouragement. I like to encourage others as well as have mutual encouragement too and not just hit like, as I find most do. If you are looking for active and mutual motivation please add me. Sense of humour is a bonus

Define "true" motivation. 😂🤣

Motivation is internal. People can inspire, encourage, "pump you up", etc. but if you're a lazy person, it DOESN'T MATTER how much they do it.
It takes you to be sick and tired of being sick and tired. Of getting a backbone instead of a wishbone. To rely on others to motivate you means you still have to work on you making you more important.

Consider all input but don’t take any single data point as gospel If there was one single solution, one person who truly had the answer, that’s all there would need to be.

Keep trying until you find what works.

If what works for you is a motivation or support group, do it.

Habit and discipline first. Motivation when those fail.

That was a little too one liner-ish and harsh...

You need a plan that you can build habits around and it makes discipline easy. It will likely take some trial and error.

If you are unable to stick to a plan without an community of motivators then you are either doing too much or you need a different plan. I speak from experience.

Sometimes at the beginning we can be in a state of high motivation. We are ready to conquer our goals and we come up with a plan that is too ambitious to sustain day in and day out. Again, I speak from experience.

Don't look for motivation. Don't look for willpower.

Those are limited resources and short-lived. Constantly looking for something to move you in the right direction is a result of a disconnect from the body.

No motivation?

It's a direct sign that you need to take a deeper look at what's really going on in your life. Always looking for motivation outside of yourself is a sign that you're not living from your own values or goals or heart's desire.

Dig deep.
Find the deeper meaning for doing all of this or none of it will stick.

The greater the need the greater the disconnect.
